Rainbow glanced at Soarin who was sitting down on the other side of the room, talking to Fire Streak when Lightning came up to her.
"Hey, Dash..." whispered Lightning, nudging her in the side.
Rainbow looked back at him and tilted her head to a side, "What up?"
"... first of all, hey, Ihaventseenyouin6years, secondly, Soar wants to speak to you..."
Lightning looked back at Fire, doing a really obvious signal, Fire doing the same.
Rainbow rolled her eyes, knowing that the two had planned it and shook her head.
"I know your lying Lightning..."
"Oh come ON!" shouted Lightning, trudging away to the colts bathroom, a few seconds later, trudging back and dragging Fire with him.
Soarin looked at Fire, mortified as his eyes landed on Dash and averted his eyes quickly.
"HAIIII SORI!" shouted Fleetfoot, then whispering, "You should REALLY go give apologies to your marefriend for not keeping your promise, every time I went, she was just looking for YOU, you know."
"What? But you said..."
"It was a lie, I promised her... whoops I uh kinda spilled it, huh?"
"No kidding." grumbled Soarin, rolling his eyes.
"Anyway, go talk to her!" giggled Fleetfoot, the twins and her leaving the room, leaving them both alone.
"... hey..."
"Hey." said Rainbow flatly, looking downwards.
Soarin glanced back at the door before walking towards her and sitting down next to her.
"I..."
"Don't."
"What?"
"Don't apologise, you here can't make up for that."
"Wait! Dash! I can explain!" begged Soarin.
"NO, you can't! On that last day, I was BROKEN, I felt AWFUL I wanted to desperately fly back and go to you and give a proper bye, I told my self I'll forgive you as soon as you came but you never did! I really thought you had hurt your self like you promised me! Why... why did you never come back..."
It was true, Soarin never did come back... he was hooked in moping that one day he forgot what he was moping about and forgot all about her until he got into the wonderbolts... how was he meant to explain THAT?
"Why... couldn't you just visit me?" asked Soarin nervously.
"I couldn't! I wasn't aloud in Cloudsdale all because my parents didn't trust anypony at the school! I only ever went back when I moved back to find out you moved house and you obviously graduated or something!"
"I thought your parents said..."
"They said I wasn't aloud to move until I was 18 but NO! They... they just had to... die... when I didn't see you at the funeral... I thought you... died..."
That seemed to struck Soarin in the heart, Dash's parents were probably the kindest ponies he had ever met, really, the only family Dash had apart from friends, her parents weren't that rich either, they had barely enough to live. Of course, his parents helped until they moved. Soarin had probably moved out and lost connection for a few months when his mother was told the news.
"Dash... I'm willing to be friends again... I know you probably hate me as much as you hated Hoops but I can always make up for tha-"
Surprisingly, Soarin then felt some hooves wrapping around him. She was hugging him. She was really hugging him.
Dash felt kinda uncomfortable for a little since she hadn't hugged him in a LONG time but she knew he meant it and trusted him well.
"I'm willing to find out... Soar..."
